Our Senior Listed Players


Dee Landing

Recommended Posts

Now that we are passed the half way mark of 2011, the only senior listed players I give a pass mark to include:

Jamar

Sylvia

Rivers

Moloney

Garland

Jones

Even then, Moloney has to be a standout for the B&F.

Onfield leadership remains our archilles heel. When we get into trouble during a game..there is no leadership to stem the bleeding

I can only have confidence in the future with the young kids where I hope there will be a standout group of young men who will do everything in their power to stop the rot that is the MFC leadership issue.

How old would senior be, 24 and over?

I think it's a good list.

I have a couple to add.

Stefan Martin has been excellent, particularly post Jamar's injury

and;

Joel MacDonald has been good to excellent in every game he's played.

For mine Rivers has been 50/50, if a pass mark, not by much. Also a bit harsh on Frawley (assuming he is a senior player in your definition) built slowly coming on an interrupted preseason but has been solid since about round 5.

Better define 'senior listed players'. Trengove is on the senior list, no pass mark for him? Or if age based, Garland is 23, so what counts as senior.

Players who have maintained high standards IMO are;

Moloney

Jordie McKenzie

Jamar

Sylvia

Jones

Garland

Bail (very consistant until injured)

Martin

Trengove

Scully

Is it easier to do the fail list?

Davey - Struggled to impact in games and then had the shocker against the saints were everything went bad

Green - Ordinary start to the year, then played out of position and then found some form. But still too many missed goals, too many poor attempts to draw a free and not enough relentless attitude in his game

Not sure if he counts as senior but Dunn has also been disappointing.

The thread title is pretty much the opposite of what this thread is about.

It's not about specifically all the senior listed players, it's about all the more senior players... on the list (senior, rookie or otherwise).

Any chance it can be changed to reflect the real issue being discussed?

For that matter, it'd be handy to have a definition of what is meant by "senior" players in this thread in particular.

I have a feeling that I know what is meant, but the lines are blurred.

As an example, Nathan Jones may be a few years older than Trengove et al, but I'd hardly refer to him as a "senior" player (in this instance).

Bartram had a good run before getting injured. He was very consistent and performed at a high level when we were short of tough mids. He is finding it hard to work his way back in with Jordie McKenzie playing so well and the FD looking to get more games into other players. If he had not got injured we might be listing Bartram on that pass marks list. Tappy could also be in the same boat barring his injury.

I think Trenners has been a shining light this season, he has not gone missing all that often, and has provided some surprised hardness with his contested possies and strong (sling....) tackling.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
